Pinning bipartite synchronization for coupled nonlinear systems with antagonistic interactions and switching topologies

Abstract This paper studies the bipartite synchronization in a network of nonlinear systems with antagonistic interactions and switching topologies. In order to obtain some conditions such that the network achieves bipartite synchronization for any initial conditions, we design a pinning scheme to pin a part of agents. Under the assumptions that all signed graphs are structurally balanced and the nonlinear system satisfies a one-sided Lipschitz condition, we derive conditions under which the network reaches bipartite synchronization for any initial conditions and arbitrary switching signals. For a general switching signal (especially the periodic switching signal), some conditions related to switching signal are obtained. Finally, we present two numerical examples to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
